Financial cushioning for chronic medication

The A.A.C.M.A.S. Chronic Care Network (CCN) is designed to cater for members who need to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, asthma and high blood pressure to mention a few. Unlike other medical aid societies where specific limits for chronic care benefits are set, A.A.C.M.A.S. members enjoy a more comprehensive benefit in that the overall annual limit is applied.

Members with chronic conditions are required to register on the CCN by completing an application form, which their doctor also completes, and the member then submits the form to the Society. On receipt, the application is clinically assessed and if approved, the member is registered on the CCN for a specified duration and issued with a registration letter. The CCN Application Form is available and can be downloaded on this website.

It should be noted that the duration of the CCN registration is determined by the period stated on the application by your doctor. This period is stipulated in the registration letter and it is the members' responsibility to renew their CCN membership before it expires. Maintaining current membership on the CCN enables the Society to pay for chronic medication from Insured Benefits.

The CCN letter can be used to obtain chronic medication from pharmacies on direct payment with the Society.
